Hi all,

We discovered that Security Groups don’t work in ACS 4.5+ when used with 
XenServer 6.5 due to ipset, sm/util.py changes. I’ve opened the issue here 
which was found to be reproducible by my colleagues Geoff and Abhi:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8395

I’ve tried to fix it in a way such that vmops plugin would work on both XS 6.2 
and 6.5 releases, here's the PR: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/186

One of the major changes it introduces it to use “nethash” instead of “iphash” 
when storing CIDRs received as part of a ingress/egress rule. I’m not sure how 
it will affect users that will upgrade to ACS 4.5, as a precaution I’ve added a 
change to flush and remove old ipset entry before adding a new one. (Assuming 
all network rule addition/removals are idempotent, as everytime we add/remove a 
rule, all rules are sent to be applied by the XS vmops plugins).

Tim - since you’re one of the Xen gurus can you help review it and suggest any 
other changes?

I wanted to bring this issue on dev ML since it’s a potential blocker for 4.5. 
I’m not sure if we officially support XS 6.5 on 4.4 branch, but if needed once 
we have a reviewed commit it can be cherry-picked on 4.4 as well.
